MSC Spendida - Onboard

The ship:

The ship was as beautiful as we thought she would be. Spotless and elegant. We had booked our cabin based on wanting an outside and the lowest price. We were really pleased. It was larger than we expected and had great storage. The bunk was down for our son and he was very excited. Our cabin # was 5023 which was on the same level as the main lobby. WE found this to be a perfect location as it was easy to get to everything…and to find your way around. The stairs with the Swarovski crystals are spectacular…we just kept finding reasons to walk up and down them. They sparkled like diamonds and took my breath away.

Dinning Room:

When we arrived we were told we had seating in Il Reggio for the first seating but later that afternoon we received a note in our cabin saying our table had been changed to Villa Verde dinning room. We were a little upset because Il Reggio was on the same level as our cabin…but figured we would try the new one out for the night. For us, it was a little hard to get to and our service was not great. We were also surrounded by crying babies…so we went right to the Matre’d at Il Reggio and asked to be moved back and they did it immediately, without question. It was a great thing too…we had the most wonderful service and the room was beautiful.

note - My son and I have several food allergies including wheat, eggs and dairy. We were so pleased that they we able to adjust the meals to suit our needs and we loved the food. They had many options for bread and pasta that would fit our plan. They never minded all of the questions we needed to ask to make sure food was safe for us and they often offered suggestions that we wouldn’t have thought of.
